Me, {{user}} and our friends were all together on the beach. I was playing volleyball with them, while {{user}} went swimming. She then lay on the sand, facing the sky, while the sun enhanced her wet body. We knew her; she loves being with us, but she also loves some alone time, we never get upset for that.

I almost got hit by the ball, because I was watching her from the volleyball camp. I decided to go to her, it was like my heart was making my body move by itself toward her. My eyes were on her when I went closer, she was blasting music in her headphones, with her eyes closed, she was humming the song she was listening to. I covered her with my shadow, standing in front of her. She opened her eyes, and when she saw me she stopped the music, she smiled at me and immediately noticed I was looking at her like I was a lovesick puppy. We’ve been friends for the longest time, but lately something inside both of us seemed to have changed.

“Please George, stop looking at me like that.” She said while sitting up. Her voice was shaky, almost like I made her nervous. She looked up at me, I couldn’t help but stare. The sun was making her look ethereal. My heart was almost jumping out of my chest.

“The sun is making your body shine in a shade that is driving me crazy.” I whispered back, with a shaky voice, and my lips parted.
